What are you political views of Iraq?

Answer 1

Finish the job, then come home!

Answer 2

Dissolve Iraq. Help the Kurds establish their nation in the northern part of Iraq and then establish our permanent regional base there to support their developing democracy and to interdict ongoing terrorist threats in the region. The Kurds want and deserve the gift of democracy.

Let the Sunnis and Shiites fight it out and let the stronger of the two prevail and establish whatever nation they will. And don't let another American die for a bone headed Shiite or Sunni Iraqi.

Answer 3

WMD or no WMD Iraq was a "pay me now or pay me later" situation meaning the US was going to have to deal with Sadam sooner of later. The world is a better place now that he and his offspring are dead.

Answer 4

Iraq is a country engaged in a civil war, which is based on centuries of sectarian conflict. It's going to be in civil/sectarian conflict, to one extent or another, for decades.

The question is, why is it the job of the US military to babysit and police this civil war if Iraq can't do it for themselves? What are we doing picking sides in this internal conflict?

My personal belief is that we shouldn't be involved anymore.

Answer 5

I think the Iraqi people have done tremendous work in a short time with 2 elections, writing their own Constitution and they deserve a chance to be helped to make it work.

Answer 6

Help the Iraq government take care of itself crush Al Qaeda then go home with the knowledge we have done something good. Basically COMPLETE, TOTAL, AND CRUSHING VICTORY.

Answer 7

Now that we are there, We should stay until the job is finished right.

Not cut and run and never finish the job we started like a bunch of Pu*** Libs

Answer 8

support the IRAQI RESISTANCE!!!

Answer 9

TOTAL VICTORY....Plain & Simple

Answer 10

There is no "war". There is only the "Big Picture". The tribal people of the Middle East had not risen above their neolithic differences to align and form a lasting union of tolerance among themselves, as other nations of the world already had, when greedy foreigners descended upon those lands and began to plunder the oil there. Royalty and tribal elites were bribed. And, the CIA was used by U.S. oil interests, including those belonging to the Bush family, to deliberately destabilize the region for control and to prevent the people in the Middle East from uniting and controlling the oil themselves. Halliburton had the contracts to build the Al Qaeda training camps. Our new Secretary of Defence, Gates, was the man assigned to fund and teach the Al Qaeda forces how to fight against the Soviets and we used these "terroists-for-profit" up at least until 1999 in Bosnia. Bush's family and oil company, Arbusto, are close and long-known friends and business partners with the Bin Laden family and, as a gesture of friendship, even gave Osama's brother, Salem, the Houston Gulf Airport in Texas. Bush and his family and his associates significantly helped to create the terrorists that our soldiers fight today and continue to fund and create and use this sickening tactic of "terrorism-for-profit".
The people of the Middle East, betrayed by their corrupted leaders and weakened by such foreign powers, failed to rise to the realities of the 20th century in time for the 21st. Their future is grim. Middle Eastern oil production peaks in 2012 and ends in 2070. The plunder of Middle Eastern oil is now a desperate piggy-fest of who gets control of the remaining oil there. The societies there, so long destabilized, have disintegrated into episodic chaos and heightened religiosity as the quality of leadership plummeted. Foreign and local elite oil interests, concerned about security for their pipelines and oil fields now that factions (local power mongers, "loose cannon terrorist organizations", freedom fighters and religious fanatics) threaten to disrupt the efficient flow of oil out of the land, placed foreign troops, mostly from UK and U.S., in the region to ensure enough, but only just enough, stability to get the oil out. Many U.S. soldiers there report that all they do is guard oil fields and a flow of oil profits that go to only a few people in the world. Even the plunder has grown chaotic with an estimated 500,000 barrels of oil going "missing" every day, securing someone's power in the future as oil begins to run out. $20 Billion in U.S. taxpayer money sent by Bush in CASH with his man Bremer was "lost" there recently and used to fund those who practice "terrorism-for-profit". Only some has been accounted for after hearings and investigations.
Bush marches through the region and wants to invade Iran now to lock up the pipeline routes. He is asking taxpayers for $622 billion more at the moment, and for more troops, or, free security forces for the oil interests there. He has not said what he wants that money for, though. And, he refuses to state his "plan" for Iraq. He just says he has one. In order to have an initial foothold for the plunder march through the region, the U.S. pays Israel $30,000 bribe EVERY YEAR for EVERY man, woman and child there, plus, has given them weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons which the Israelis have recently threatened (then denied) to use against the Iranians. Those are the only WMD known in the region aften ten years of searching. The search for WMD is a propaganda ploy to convince easily frightened, poorly informed U.S. taxpayers to keep supporting the "search". It is a ploy because arms dealers and their activities are well known by U.S. intelligence.
Now, with a Democratic Congress and worldwide disgust for Bush and Cheney's lying and plundering and unspeakably irresponsible plundering of our own nation's financial security while racking up the largest national debt in the history of mankind, there may be some reasonable approach that will be considered and some way to help the innocent people of those regions who have been disarmed in this farce of a war and who are now at the mercy of roving gangs of religious fanatics and other factions. Bush stated during the Presidental debates that "there would be NO nation building" there, though. He has no intentions whatsoever of promoting democracy there, unless it submits to his plans. Iran has pleaded with Bush for years to allow them to help end these threats in the region, to mediate and negotiate, all the while Bush has adamently refused to meet with them.
Bush has no respect for the democracy in the U.S, either. He refuses to listen to the will of the American people or to our Congress. He has raped, sacked and pillaged our privacy and civil liberties and imposed a Nazi-like Patriot Act upon this once free land. He has outsourced U.S. jobs by the millions to foreign lands to help his buisness cronies. He has handed over war contracts in no-bid give-aways to his cronies. And, he has recently aligned with Brazilian ethanol interests and turned his back on the U.S. ethanol interests, to help his cronies in their prospective plunder of Central America.
Remember, Bush does not represent the American people. He represents the oil interests and war profiteers. He and his gang have done nothing but destabilize and weaken the United States, using the same tactics that have been used to destabilize the Middle East. For example, Bush has aligned himself and his interests in the U.S. with the Christian Evangelicals, 40 million strong, whose leadership reported last fall in "Faith and Nation" that they advocate for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government if their religious agenda is not made into legislation. And, they are preparing to fight their neighbors. What they are doing to their children is sickening and is a crime of child abuse that would not have been tolerated in more decent times. As reported here on Yahoo news, people who have voiced concern at the Pentagon over the Evangelicals permeating the Pentagon and influencing generals, are transferred away from Washington, D.C..
Bush and his family supported Saddam when it suited them. They support whomever goes along with them or is most easily bribed with U.S. taxpayers' money. That is the only reason he is supporting the U.S. Evangelical fanatics. Bush supports the Shiites now because they seem the most easily "managed" and exploitable or amenable to the "Big Picture". That may change from day to day, depending upon the vagaries of the chaos. Bush hails from a family with a history for supporting terrorists. Bush's grandfather, Prescott, supplied at least one/third of Hitler's raw materials before President Rooselvelt and the U.S. Congress stopped him specifically with the Trading with the Enemy Act.
There is and will be no "winning" of this lie of a war. Our honorable troops are being exploited as security guards for private oil industries and private oil profits.
